Export/Import settings bug with Substitution Filters

[Gitoffthelawn]

WinMerge v2.16.30-x64

When attempting to perform a "roundtrip" export of WinMerge settings followed by an import, I discovered a bug related to Substitution Filters: If a substitution filter begins with a space, WinMerge will leave out the space character at the beginning of the filter in the settings export file. Thus, during import, the filter will not match what the user intended to export.

I tested using regex substitution filters, so the workaround was to add a backslash before the space character.
